HoX and summons

[SupTyr]

Since we get to see damage numbers for our summons now...

I was wondering if someone has checked yet which summons can help with making Xyzzy vulnerable.

[Calebro]

Probably not, because any sort of summons in there is a horrible idea.

[TheDearLeader]

I don't run it often anymore, but if I see a guild one forming, I'll try to check.

I know we use/have used Bezekiras in the past, because they were believed to be doing damage to Xyzzy.

Does Epic Wolf Whistle work? It makes a Thrakk Hound, after all.

MsEricka has one of these. Guess we'll have to test both. Edit : And while we're at it, a Hound of Chaos from the Kythri cookies.

Okay. We went into a HoX NORMAL today, strictly for the purposes of testing.

We found that:
Kythri Hound
Summon Monster VIII Bezekira
Epic Thaarak Hound from Epic Wolf Whistle

All did 0 Damage to Xyzzy. This was with Mass Bulls/Haste/+7 Damage from Inspire Courage.

So... yeah. Even though I'm fairly sure at one point in the past they mattered, if they can't damage her on Normal, I doubt they do on any other difficulty setting.

Thanks for the testing. One more DDO rumor/innuendo/myth disproven!
